Description
Hello, there's no way to go into any folder that's a symlink -or alias as known in mac- and that is really a bummer :
maybe there can be an option to either open them on the finder (as it is now) or open them within fman ;)
thanks!

No file or test is named. Reproduce the issue with a symlink or macOS alias folder in fman, then trace the navigation behavior for folders that currently open in Finder. Done means such folders can be opened within fman, while retaining a way to open them in Finder.
